Neat Nifty Neigbhbors

It's great to have nice neighbors.

So just yesterday, while working outside, pulls into the driveway a large orange diesel tractor with a bucket up front and a big bush-hogger at the rear.

Neighbor asks to spray some water to clean the tractor's radiator filter & then offers, "Is there anything you'd like bush hogged"?

Well, actually we'd let our 'north 40' get a bit tall.  So, here's our neighbor at work.

Thanks!

And the beat goes on ...

Our neighbors think the beavers should return to our pine trees.

Here's a before and after of one of their nice redbud trees.

Old Time Radio Show in Linden

Dimples, on Main Street, performed an Old Time Radio Show-- Live-- for Linden's 2nd Annual Blooming Arts Festival (a spectacular kaleidoscope of fine arts, crafts, and performances).


Listen to excerpts from their show. Watch "backstage" to see the sound effects being created. 


They've produced a CD of their shows.

Spring arrives with Blooming Arts Festival

Big doings in the city!  

- Arts and crafts, music, food and more were all about the town square.  
- Music played at the Courthouse.  Live radio show was broadcast from "Dimples".  
- Artisans brought their wares for the citizenry and tourists to enjoy and buy.  
- A trolley bus came from Nashville to shuttle folks between Linden and Lobelville.  

Good times were had by all.

Fire, glass, wood, molten metal, paint splatter, and modern dance! With an outstanding slate of educational events and interactive exhibitions, Linden's 2nd Annual Blooming Arts Festival was a spectacular kaleidoscope of fine arts, crafts, and performances.


Well over 50 exhibiting artists presented items such as wood carved bowls, totem poles, hiking sticks, pottery, clay figures, stained glass, weavings, books, jewelry, baskets, quilts and painted feathers, portraits, photographs, paintings, dolls and gourds.


Food was abundant and provided by local eateries and street vendors. Guided tours were available highlighting the new Linden Art District, the new Heritage and Visitor Center, and the Historic Commodore Hotel. Town Mayor Jim Azbill, was seen greeting visitors.

October Neighbors'

 October brings some fall colors.  Look at that maple by the house.
Nice blue sky this day.

 

Wishing Well

All your wishes come true here at the river on a sunny Autumn day.

Down to the river

2008 Oct

A quick tour down the neighbors' path (watch carefully as we swing by the new cottage).
We continue down to the river.

Next, travel along as we go abreast of the river, upstream.
Our tour ends as we pass by the picnic bench and end up at the garden cottage

(This is a video tour; you'll need to double-click on the picture to the right of the neighbors' path to start your tour. You'll be transported over to Picasa Web Albums.  Or, you can use this link) 

Harvest

Morning glories, watermelon (big), mowing the yard, the field of yellow as summer begins to wane at the river.

See the watermelon on the porch at the bottom of the collage?  We enjoyed it very much with some neighbors.

It was nice buzzing around RiverBend & visiting with several of our neighbors yesterday.
